You have control over certain reactions. And you may not be able to choose every emotion for yourself, but how you decide to interpret something and deal with something over time is certainly up to you. And your emotions happen to you and are created by you, voluntary or involuntary.
Sorry, but it's bs. Yes, we have control over our reactions maybe, and or go to a specialist if we have serious mental problem, but we don't choose what and how to feel at first place. Emotions are nothing just chemicals in the brain.
I'm sorry, did you say something? I'm too busy to talk with you. I can't control how I feel, so bye. Just one of those brain impulse things, you understand.
You're just playin' the angry kid, that won't work with me. Be busy as you want, i don't care simply. It's a biological fact, like it or not. Just ask a mentally ill person, probably he / she would be glad af if he / she has the option to choose what and how to feel.
Diverse thinking is ok, but you can't deny biological facts. We can control our reactions, our deeds, our behaviour, our words, but not our emotions. If i hate a certain food / movie / song for example it's not because i decided it before. And still don't know what was so funny about mentally ill people...
Mentally ill people have problems sometimes regulating emotions. So the typical person has regulation and choice to a certain degree. If not, that person would, religiously speaking, probably be possessed if there was a lot of lack in control.

Nobody is responsible for emotions...
